Maybe you should turn off the TV after 10 p.m.
Late Night With the Devil–an indie horror flick from Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Abu Dhabi that’s filming in Australia for a 2023 release–has landed its lead, according to a report on Variety.
David Dastmalchian–recently seen in Dune and The Suicide Squad–will star in the film that follows the live broadcast of a late-night talk show in 1977 that goes horribly wrong, “unleashing evil into the nation’s living rooms,” according to the brief logline.
The film comes from the Australian writing/directing team of Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres and Scare Campaign) and producers Roy Lee (It), Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary), Derek Dauchy, Mat Govoni, Adam White and John Molloy.
The directors said in a statement that “there was something slightly dangerous about late-night TV in the ’70s and ’80s. Talk shows, in particular, were a window into some strange adult world. We thought combining that atmosphere with the supernatural could make for a uniquely frightening film experience.”
